Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life. |

After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps. |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Food Tip |
Cover the beans with water and bring to the boil. Add all the
ingredients, except the creamed coconut and stir. Simmer for 45
minutes or until the beans are cooked and the liquid is reduced. Stir
in the creamed coconut and adjust the seasoning if necessary. The
stew should be hearty and thick. Carrots or other vegetables can be
added to the stew 10 minutes before it is done.
Note: Commercially-made, good quality creamed coconut can be bought
in 7 ounce packets. Available in most supermarkets, grocery and
health shops, it can be stored for weeks in the refrigerator, to be
used in sauces, stews, desserts and drinks.
